Do it a different way.

Saxon extends the things you can do at run-time considerably, compared to
the XSLT standard, but declaring variables whose name is decided at run-time
is definitely out of bounds! 

A lot of people seem to thing of variables as textual substitution macros.
They aren't. It can only be a matter of time before someone tries:

<xsl:$declare name="x" select="y"/>

with $declare set to "variable" or "param"
